About Me

I'm from Minnesota, but have lived in Wisconsin, UP Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington State, and Alaska. Now Arizona is home. I have a B.A. in English from Bemidji State University in Minnesota (um...go Beavers!) and an M.F.A. in creative writing (Arizona State, '94). I'm a full-time English faculty member at Mesa Community College in Arizona. Besides teaching, I work out, write, read, bond with my cats Sara and Lucy and Leo, tackle home projects, and now bare my soul.
